Hard to feel sorry for her. She was a silly girl who just had to gossip about her affair and didn't have the sense to wash the dress and tell Starr's staff to go to hell when they intruded into her private life.

Sad really. We are beyond the social pariah imposed by the outside--so she cannot blame her victimhood on that. Monica is pretty tame (and rather pathetic) compared to those hacks who promote themselves by notoriety out there today. She was just a young silly girl who put herself in a very bad position and is now paying the price for that. Bill Clinton was a pig who took advantage of that. She can end all of this by moving on and getting on with her life, but she doesn't know how to do it.

In life, you have to be able to take a joke. I don't see what could really hold her back at this point other than an inability to do so. That and the fact that she was never really bound for greatness in the first place.

I'm always torn on her. On one hand, 21 is, IMO, old enough to know better than to get involved with a married man, period. She's responsible for that bad decision.

On the other hand, she was young, and she was naive, and I have some sympathy for her. Clinton really took advantage- it wasn't just the sex that was wrong of him, but the fact that he really jumped onto a girl who was in such an inferior position to him. I feel bad for her that she has to carry this for the rest of her life. Can you imagine any man wanting to tell people that he was seriously dating Monica Lewinsky?

WV: hymen. Really. I've been getting the weirdest WVs the last few days.

A girl who Lewinskied Bush (hmmm) and subsequently blamed him for taking advantage of her would be a media darling. Companies would pay her thousands to tweet about their products. She'd be bigger than Kim Kardashian (hmmm, again).

I'll give her credit for not turning on Bill. OTOH, I don't think there was ever a significant market inducement for her to do so. The news and entertainment media don't want to dredge any of that stuff up, so they won't touch her with a 10-foot pole or a Presidente cigar.

Sad, and unnecessary. Trooper (showing a flash of confidence in human nature) has it right. Stop being a victim, and just get on with it. There are plenty of people, including some decent men, who will befriend you. Many of them engaged in serious indiscretions at one time or another too. Just not on the biggest stage in the world.

Ah, memories. It reminds me of former Time correspondent Nina Burleigh telling the Washington Post in reference to Bill Clinton: "I'd be happy to give him [oral sex] just to thank him for keeping abortion legal." Quite a classy lady, eh? It's not surprising that willing debasement goes hand in hand with infanticide.

There is only one Trooper York out there Freeman...and I hear he is taken.

But you are all giving good advice to Ms. Lewkinsky. She needs to find a regular job, be a regular sort of gal, and find a big brash guy who can take on any jerkoffs to make fun of her. And eventually things will be all good.

I was in a bar once and Tonya Harding was there playing a video game with a drink on one side and a cigarette on the other. A friend of mine I was with went up to her and said: "I hear Tonya Harding hangs out here..." Tonya took a drag on her cigarette, looked at him and dryly said, "No shit." She apparently did not get the joke. Or maybe she did. I have no sympathy for Harding.

There were 12 lawyers at the Impeachment hearings interviewing her. And, she did NOT give clinton over to these dogs!

Maybe, she wouldn't have gotten married anyway? I know lots of single gals who bypassed getting married. And, some who did are now divorced.

She's got wide hips. But other than that she's dressed in expensive clothes. And, I doubt she lacks for male companions.

She just couldn't find another Bill.

And, she never even demanded that he say thanks to her for saving his ass.

(She probably thinks Linda Tripp caused her all of her problems, anyway.)

Expecting her to be married is the wrong test.

She's also NOT someone's secretary. She's not working at a drag-ass job where she has to bring in the coffee.

That she's an easily recognized name? She got there without killing anybody.

That she stood up to 12 lawyers in da' House? Probably cost Newt Gingrich his Speakership. And, it shows ya, Newt's "contract with America" didn't amount to a hill of beans, either. Anybody can stick a sheet of paper into laminated plastic.

A home in LA and an apartment in New York, living off of family money?

I'm sorry, I having a lot of trouble feeling sympathy for her. We're supposed to feel bad that her narcissistic lifestyle isn't giving her self-esteem?

Maybe she should, you know, do something with her money and her life.

There are people all over the world in need of help. There are men and women all over this country who are scraping and saving and working their ass off to pay for more schooling to become a contributory professional.

It's like feeling sorry for Bertie Wooster. After a certain amount of time, she needs to take responsibility for herself and live a life that earns respect, because the jokes that are being made are pretty much about the only thing she has done with success, it seems.

Stop being a narcissist and you'll find a lot more people like you. She's the butt of jokes because she can't move on to doing anything other than feel sorry for herself.

"The Lewinsky affair exposed feminism for the sham that it is, not about women really, but just a political tool for abortion."

This. Times 1000.

If Republicans guaranteed no one would ever touch Roe again and that every pro-life protest would never happen again, you could whip out whole chunks of the federal government and the left wouldn't care. The "right" to murder the inconvenient parasite that somehow made its way into a woman's body is the one, absolute, non-negotiable bedrock position of the Democrat party.

I think most of you are being way, way too generous with Lewinsky. She lost my sympathies when she conspired with the Big Creep to set a perjury trap for Kathleen Willey. That was despicable, and that poor woman suffered far more than Lewinsky did for nothing more than having been made a confidant for Lewinsky's shameful behavior.

Stop being a narcissist and you'll find a lot more people like you. She's the butt of jokes because she can't move on to doing anything other than feel sorry for herself.

I do not disagree that victimhood wears thin after a while. Lewinsky needs to move on. I do feel a sorry for her. But, so what, the power to fix her life remains with her not me.

I did read American Lion when I was on the road. Mrs. Jackson was the butt of jokes and she sadly passed just after Jackson won the presidency but before he took office. Still, Andrew Jackson did not hesitate to defend his wife's honor when she wa attacked (and I think he killed at least one man in a duel over it).

I feel kind of sorry for her. Fine, it was a mess of her own making, but it's been a long time. Heck, Mike Vick killed a bunch of dogs and he's back on the field in two years. She was just a naive girl working on her bucket list.

Sorry, wussy boy. I bought Zappa fresh from the racks and still own the vinyl. I'm that old.

Beats me why you even come here. There isn't a subject that you aren't beat up on. Upping your game would be a futile expectation. You need to adjust your internet experience to what you can manage instead. I suggest cleaning up your language and trying Nickelodeon. Better yet, try Nickelodeon España. That could only help.

My bet is a sociopath like Bubba, who cheats @ everything, including golf, strays off the vegan when nobody is looking. I had a friend in college who was a sanctimonious vegetarian[early 70's before fashionable]. We would see his car parked near a good bar that made killer cheeseburgers. We would then walk into the bar, catch him eating[the pig usually got 2], and help ourselves to what he hadn't yet eaten, telling him it was for his own good.

What's that, B-boy (b as in butt!) you lying sack of filth? You mean your first Osmond album? You never had any FZ records--don't know Peaches in Regalia from yr crack pipe. or an argeggio from yr mama's whore ass (you know, Byro--the one you helped to an early grave--as the Phx. cops know as well).

Yr lies about to end white trash, too cowardly to link to a real site. Get the fuck offline, and get out of CA you bag of Mormon trash. Capiche, joto?

Her family is doing her no favors by continuing to let her live on family welfare and pursue fantasies of starting her own PR firm. All that does is let her continue to view the world through a privileged JAP lens. Knock some of that out of her by forcing her into the workaday world and she might refocus on a perfectly acceptable workaday beau.

You would be crazy too if you lived on the wrong side of the 405 and on the wrong side of the hill. Especially if you saw yourself as a real hipster, VB or even south side. Horrible when all you have is the internet and your fear and those not very noir suburban LA basin blues. Carl's and waitresses with art hair and cheap tattoos. You would be stark raving mad.

You've nailed it and what's wrong with that? is right. Downward mobility is her only hope for salvation. Salvation being a very ordinary life as the wife of a middle level executive in retail sales or retail anything who she'd meet through work.

It's a kind of cliche about the 405 freeway, but it is strangely like a wall. If you look at maps of census-type data, it's a stark line with totally different populations on each side, even though it doesn't impede cross-traffic at all. To the west it's white, rich and relatively crime free but east of that line and it's another world. I cross it multiple times everyday.

The problem is that people want to start at the top. It doesn't work that way.

I think the main problem is that no matter who she goes to work with or for, the whole scandal thing will always be the 800 pound gorilla in the room. People cannot control their innate curiosity and they want to KNOW.

I agree with the earlier comment. She's a prime candidate for a name change and a relocation. Maybe she can go shack up with Cassie Anthony and Elvis.

One commenter at the Dailymail is on trget.Why she is the pariah( BTW: social pariah is redundant)and not Bill?He reached an agreement with Juanita Broderick over alegations of rape. He sexually atacked Katherine Willey, se harrased Paula Jones and Monica Lewinsky( She was his subordinate and he had sex with her in the working place) . But he did not received the Tiger Woods treatment

"The problem is that people want to start at the top. It doesn't work that way."

Maybe not in fashion, but Monica did jump right to the top in service of the powerful. She is the envy of every hooker in America. How did she score that gig anyway? I hope the first woman President pulls a Billy Clinton. Just that scene in my head cracks me up. What kind of dirty talk would be going on there? Do I call you Madame President, or just Chief? Are there sex acts that the Secret Service will recommend against?

You would like to think that Quentin was around every corner out there in the Valley in the flat light watching your every cool move but he isn't. He is way bored with that. There are the Mexicans with their blowers giving you the look but they would not know a hipster from a vendor down Topolobampo way. You would like to think Quentin would see you there in the hot midday as just escaped from the prison outside Los Mochis where you had to buy your food. But Quentin would look right through you. You would be barking crazy but Quentin is on to other things.

No, binky, we weren't. I couldn't care less about your opinions on Zappa, music in general, or anything else. For that matter, what value would any discussion with an incoherent hysteric offer me?

I tossed you a bone because you quoted something from Zappa that I hadn't thought about in a bit. That's all. Nothing more. And a bad move on my part since all you did was take said bone, shove it up your ass, and spin on it like some mad dervish with Tourettes.

I'm surprised she hasn't found a husband. Everyone knows she gives head.

As Fred4Pres says, sad.

I've wondered of a long time if a lot of weird stuff went on in the Clinton White House. My niece clerked for Clinton and Gore. She's very pretty, but built a little heavy like Monica. Within months of returning from her clerkship, she had to be hospitalized for depression. Maybe it was related to clerking, maybe not. But, I wonder.

A quarter's worth of club soda and a dinner napkin would have taken care of the dress+spunk.But being a needy freak, she decided that it all should remain in situ. She probably looked at it more than once.

Clinton's a dog, but understand that a man married to a dyke has many unmet needs.

The backstory was that she had daddy issues from her father's divorce. I forget the details, but there was some other scandal where she slept with a married man and let the wrong people know about it. She wanted to punish married men for her father's infidelity and divorce....That said, she was an intern in the President's office. OK, he was not in loco parentis, but, for God's sake, the President of the United States is supposed to act with more discretion and morality than the horndog drummer in a one hit rock bank.....I think she seduced not just the President (not a difficult task) but the resulting scandal. Why confide in the older, Republican woman?....I don't think it's all that difficult for her to meet men, but her sense of entitlement is such that she feels only world leaders are suitable matches for her. Sadly DSK is already taken, but there would be a match made in heaven.

She was young and made a mistake, but now it is time for her to forget herself and go on with her life. She said that she will never love anybody else, I don't think so, she is just feeding that love from good memories, but she is forgetting the bad ones. Her lack of self-esteem keeps her in a self-imposed prison.

It seemed when Bill got in trouble with women, he discredited them to the point to make them look like objects or things that, by accident, were on his way and served the purpose.He expresses about Monica in the same way as he expressed about many other women.
